unit 2 robots grammar 课时作业.阅读理解a(2017河南郑州模拟)i log onto a computer at the doctors office to say i have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.there, a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure. some time later, in steps the doctor, who is also a robot. he notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription (处方). i pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being.when i call my dentists office and actually get a human being on the line, i am thrilled. and when i see the introduction of yet more selfservice checkout stations at the grocery store, i feel like shouting，“when it comes to cashiers, make mine human, please！”after all, human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon(优惠券) for items you are buying. even more than that, reallife cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children, which can brighten a young mothers day. a cashier may also show compassion (同情) for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse.what technological device would do, any of this? i dont want to go back to the stone age, but im also worried about a world run by machines. sometimes when youre chatting with someone, you discover things you need to know. maybe a receptionist needs prayers said for a sick child. maybe a salesperson can offer a bit of encouragement to a customer who is feeling tired.machines can be efficient and costeffective and they often get the job done just fine. but they lack an element so important to everyday life.call it the spirit, the soul or the heart. it is something no machine will ever have. it is being human that prompts us to smile at others, which may be what they need at that moment.1whats the authors purpose in writing the first two paragraphs?ato indicate high technology can make our future life very easy.bto describe a possible future scene where robots take control of our life.cto warn readers of the possible dangers of robotic nurses and doctors.dto predict how technology can affect the way we see a doctor in the future.2why does the author prefer being served by humans rather than by robots?arobots are indifferent and emotionless.brobots cant provide efficient services.crobots dont offer to give store coupons.drobots are unable to do a job as well as humans.3whats the authors attitude toward machines?ahe wishes one day they would come to life.bhe is absolutely against their existence in his life.che doesnt like they get involved in his life too much.dhe is afraid they would take the place of human beings.【语篇导读】本文作者通过描述一个全部由机器人负责的诊病场景来引起话题，并提出自己的观点：虽然机器人极大地方便了我们的生活，但是我们不能过分地依赖机器，人与人之间的交流绝对不能被机器替代。1解析：选b。推理判断题。开篇的那个情景就是作者描述的未来全部由机器人负责的诊病场景。故选b项。2解析：选a。推理判断题。根据第六段以及第七段的第一、二句call it the spirit，the

suggests.minerals taken from belizes famous underwater cave, known as the blue hole, as well as lagoons(环礁湖)nearby, show that an extreme drought occurred between a. d. 800 and ad. 1000, right when the mayan civilization ended. after the rains returned, the mayans moved northbut they disappeared again a few centuries later, and that disappearance occurred at the same time as another dry period, the sediments(沉积物) reveal.although the findings arent the first to tie a drought to the end of the mayan culture, the new results strengthen the case that dry periods were indeed the cause. thats because the data came from several spots in a region central to the mayan heartland，said study coauthor andre droxler, an earth scientist at rice university.from a. d. 300 to a. d. 700, the mayan civilization flourished in the yucatan peninsula. these ancient mesoamericans built great pyramids, mastered astronomy, and developed both a writing system and a calendar system, which is famous for predicting that the world would end in 2012.but in the centuries after ad. 700, the civilizations building activities slowed and the culture fell into war and unrest.the evidence for a drought has been growing in recent years. a 2012 study in the journal science analyzed a 2,000yearold stalagmite(石笋)from a cave in southern belize and found that sharp decreases in rainfall coincided with periods of decline in the culture. but the data came from just one cave, which meant it was difficult to make predictions for the area as a whole, droxler said.to look for signs of a drought, the team drilled the sediments in the blue hole of lighthouse lagoon. the lagoons are surrounded on all sides by thick walls of coral reefs. during storms or wetter periods, excess water runs off from rivers and streams, overtops the retaining walls, and is deposited in a thin layer at the top of the lagoon. from there, all the sediments from these streams settle to the bottom of the lagoon, piling on top of each other and leaving a record of the historical climate.the team found that during the period between ad. 800 and ad. 1000, when the mayan civilization collapsed, there were just one or two tropical cyclones (气旋) every two decades, as opposed to the usual five or six. after that, the mayans moved north, building at sites such as chichen itza, in what is now mexico.7what happened after an extreme drought between ad. 800 and ad. 1000?athe mayans were suffering a heavy flood.bthe mayans suddenly disappeared from the earth.cthe mayans were often attacked by tropical cyclones.dthe mayans moved to places that is now called mexico.8what is the main idea of paragraph 4?athe achievements of the mayan civilization.bthe prediction the mayan civilization made.cthe effects the mayan civilization had on humans.dthe background where the mayan civilization began.9why did the team drill the sediments in the blue hole of lighthouse lagoon?ato learn how the blue hole came into being.bto know what lies on the bottom of the lagoon.cto study the record of the historical climate.dto see how excess water runs off from rivers and streams.10what did andre droxler think of the analysis of the 2,000yearold stalagmite?aamazing. bridiculous.creasonable. dunreliable.【语篇导读】本文是篇说明文。一项新的研究表明玛雅文明的消失是由当时干旱的环境造成的。7解析：选d。考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段的最后一句话“after that，the mayans moved north，building at sites such as chichen

hole of lighthouse lagoon.”和最后一句中的“leaving a record of the historical climate”可知，这个团队这样做是为了研究历史气候的记录。故答案为c项。10解析：选d。考查推理判断。根据文章第六段的最后一句话“but the data came from just one cave，which meant it was

in tucson, where stones and minerals of many kinds were on display. during the visit, we were taken into a small room where ordinarylooking rocks were laid out on shelves. had i seen them on some hillside, i would not have given them a second thought. then the man closed the door so that the room was in total darkness and turned on an ultraviolet (紫外线的) lamp. instantly，the rocks leaped into a kind of glory. brilliant colors of an indescribable beauty were there before our eyes: a certain power had been switched on, and a hidden world leaped into life.as i look at my universe and walk among my fellow humans, i have the deep belief that hidden realities are all around us: there in the physical world, and there also in the human world.i believe, then, that my chief job in life is to switch on an extra power so that i can see what my naked eyes, or my naked mind，cannot now see. i believe that i have to do this particularly with my human fellows. my ordinary eyes tend to stop short at those envelopes we call human bodies.but we have learned that by turning on a certain power we can see through to the inside of these envelopes.we call this extra power “imagination”. at its highest, we call it “empathy”， the power to see through and to feel through to the inner life of other human beings. when we turn on this lamp of imaginative sensitivity, we make the ordinary human beings around us come excitingly alive.when we are aware that there are glories of life still hidden from us, we walk humbly (谦逊地) before the great unknown.but we do more than this: we try to increase our powers of seeing and feeling so that we can turn what is still unknown into what is warmly and understandingly known. this, i believe, is our great human adventure.11why does the writer mention their visit to the collectors shop?ato introduce the topic.bto share his experience.cto explain his point.dto provide evidence.12which of the following does the writer agree with?ahidden realities remain in the physical world.bordinary minds can never reach others inside.che had seen the very rocks on some hillside before.dwe should stay humble when we are still unknown.13it can be referred to as a great human adventure that _.awe walk humbly before the great unknownbour eyes stop short at ordinary human beingscwe try hard to discover the hidden glories of lifedwe are aware of the truth of hidden realities【语篇导读】作者通过自己观看石头展览的经历，引起对生活的思考。对于生活中的未知，我们不仅仅是保持谦逊的态度，还要努力发现那些不为人知、被隐藏的光芒。11解析：选a。推理判断题。通读全文，文章第一段作者讲述了自己观看石头展览的经历，引起对生活中隐藏的东西进行思考，从而引出本文的主题(introduce the topic)，在以下几段对这一主题详细讨论。这是议论文写作一种常见的结构，值得学习。b项表述不够完整，没有讲到本质；c、d两项应为提出观点之后的内容，一般不会出现在第一段。故选a项。12解析：选a。推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的i have the deep belief that hidden realities are all around us可知，隐藏的事实到处都是，存在于我们的物质生活中；根据文章第三段最后两句可知b项表述不准确；文章第一段第三句had i seen them on some hillside，i would not have given them a second thought.使用了虚拟语气，可知c项表述与文中内容不符；根据文章第五段第一、二句可知，作者的观点是we do more than this(walk humbly)，故d项不符。由此可知选a项。13解析：选c。推理判断题。根据题中的关键词a great human adventure可把答案的信息源定位到文章最后一段，根据第一、二两句when we are aware that there are glories of life still hidden from us，we walk humbly before the great unknown.but we do more than this：we try to increase our powers of seeing and feeling so that we can turn what is still unknown into what is warmly and understandingly known.可知，根据作者的观点，对于未知，不仅仅是保持谦逊的态度，还要做得更多，要去努力发现那些不为人知、被隐藏的光芒。故选c项。.七选五(2017安徽六校素质测试)most students have experienced or suffered from procrastination(拖延症). here are some tips to help you reduce
